Since im still completely baffled by the idiocy of these riots that now even spread across the pond to Europe i want to share a few things the media isnt mentioning. Folks are scared to speak up, people getting fired from their jobs for saying that "all lives matter" and i really dont need this shit spreading to Europe like it has begun to.
And honestly...its really a story that fits with what i do here on HIVE.
First of all i want to say that, yes, this was police brutality. There is no denying that. The cop that stood on George Floyds neck obviously shouldnt have done that and should be punished for it. There is even evidence of this same cop being excessively aggressive at prior times during his career where his captain (a black man) protected him. All of this screams "bad apple".
There are bad apples in every job, in every aspect of life. If we go from the most trivial, there are even bad apples here on HIVE.
Everywhere you look. Just because thats true, it doesnt mean the whole orchard is rotten.
Not all cops are bastards, not all priests are child molesters, not all politicians are corrupt.
Thats the truth and no matter how outraged you might act, no matter how hard you want to label a group of people as being the very worst of what the worst individuals in their midst are, no fair or sane person will be sold on that.
Maybe an angry mob might.
The reason i wrote this post is because i really do feel that in this case, having a immutable chain like HIVE is extremely important.
Its important because it allows us to speak THE TRUTH freely even when the truth isnt to the liking of the majority..
The truth here is that these riots are simply a tool for a political option to push forth their agenda and score points against the ruling party. All of this turned into a racial thing when it is anything but that.
The problem US faces isnt racism, its income inequality, its poverty.
That being said i want to move on to the "HERO" of the story. The black "martyr".
Usually i dont speak badly about the dead but in this case im more then glad to make an exception.
George Floyd was a scumbag and should NOT be a hero to anyone.
He was not "targeted" because he was black. He was "targeted" by the cops because he was high on meth and acting strangely. George Floyd is not an innocent lamb like the media is portraying him. He is a career criminal that got taken off the street.
Ill tell you a short story about what happened in my town not long ago.
Something ive never seen happen before which turned into a huge story where i live.
You had a kid whose brother was harassed by a drug gang and extorted for money. One day after seeing that harassment and not being able to deal with it, he picked up a Kalashnikov, tracked down these drug dealers and criminals and gunned them down in broad daylight. In the aftermath, when he turned himself in, he received support from thousands of people for doing what he did. Id even say that the majority applauded his actions.
Im not someone that supports vigilante justice nor would i ever support him for doing what he did. He put innocent lives in danger, he ruined his own life in the process but in the end i can say that im fucking happy how it turned out for those guys.
He cleared garbage off the street, something our justice system could not.
That american cop did what he should not have, but in the end its one less dangerous criminal.
That being said.... ill be posting court documents going forward and text i pulled from niche sites that actually were brave enough to share this information.
- George Floyd was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of arrest
- George Floyd moved to Minneapolis in 2014 after being released from prison in Houston, Texas following an arrest for aggravated robbery
- On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a grocery store in Minneapolis
- Floyd has more than a decade-old criminal history at the time of the arrest and went to jail for atleast 5 times
- George Floyd was the ringleader of a violent home invasion
He plead guilty to entering a PREGNANT woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money - Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in state jail for possession of cocaine in a December 2005 arrest
- He had previously been sentenced to eight months for the same offense, stemming from an October 2002 arrest
- Floyd was arrested in 2002 for criminal trespassing and served 30 days in jail
- He had another stint for a theft in August 1998
Floyd along with another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department wearing a blue uniform in order to enter a woman’s house. When the woman retaliated a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.
The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.
This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’
Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.
Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.
Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in state jail for possession of cocaine. Floyd had two other cocaine offenses, receiving an eight month-sentence stemming from an October 2002 arrest and was sentenced to 10 months from a 2004 arrest.
Floyd was arrested in April 2002 for criminal trespassing and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. He did another stint for theft with a firearm in August 1998. He served 10 months at Harris County jail.
In one of the charging documents, officials noted Floyd had two convictions in the 1990s for theft and delivery of a controlled substance, but it is not clear if Floyd served any time for either of those offenses.
If there was ever a story where you should step back and asses the situation rationally, gather information and not be dragged into supporting something based on your own bias, led on by emotion, then this is it.
Always remember when youre forming an opinion, deciding what stance to take or have a decision to make that most people are wrong and most people are stupid.
Dont make their stupidity, your stupidity.
You call this systemic racism? I call it karma and good riddance.
Putting a gun on a pregnant womans belly. Fuck that guy.
Peace.
Odlican tekst. Ljudi slabo kapiraju manipulacije, ni mi ovde na Balkanu se nismo bas prizvali pameti, posle 40 godina bivanja necijeg poligona za politicke igrarije i eksperimente...
This is victim blaming at its finest
I can see what your trying to say tho and its good that you admit its police brutality. Is it necessary to look into his past tho? Still doesnt justify what happened to him
Its not victim blaming at all. Im just saying that this guy is a scumbag and that folks should be glad hes dead.
I dont support his murderer and i think he should be punished but George Floyd is no one to cry about.
No matter the criminal history, that's no reason for his brutal death. He should have been detained and he should have faced his charges. That being said, I do feel indeed that he's image was distorted by the media, making him into some sort of saint-like figure that did no wrong in his life
I didn't even know about his criminal records, I just wasn't happy he died at least he could have gone to jail for his crimes had the policemen not been too zealous
Thats fair. Whats not fair is making this about racism and burning down cities, defunding police over a drug addicts and career criminals death.
The police officer fucked up and should be held accountable.
But this guy is no hero.
Yeah you spoke the plain truth definitely, but you know emotions are running high because it's a black murder and well maybe it's quite a dicey subject as well
Its time to stop seeing these situations as black and white deaths. A man died. In this case a bad man. The color of his skin doesnt matter.
Ahhh choosing the wrong martyr again.
A very wrong one.
Well damn. Normally, I'm like you in that I don't speak ill of the dead but I'm all for rule of law. If everybody went out and killed people simply because we think they're bad, that would be fucked up.
At the time of the crime and by crime, I mean the police officer that killed George, all these facts about his history didn't matter. All that the world saw was a brutal WHITE police officer squeezing the life out of a BLACK man. So that's where the protests stem from.
I think the world is a little bit edgy right now and everybody has time on their hands to do things. Celebrities and politicians need to "lend their voice" but it is mostly because of clout and then the masses just want to fuck shit up.
I don't have ANY personal experience of it, so I will not stick my neck out for anybody. Also, it isn't my business and people in my country are tribalistic cunts that don't even marry across ethnic and religious grounds, so we have no right to chip into racial related issues.
That is true. As i said, i will never support anyone doing anything like that, nor would i support vigilante justice.
That being said, i can still be happy with the result.
Yes. But what the world should have seen is a BAD cop squeezing the life out of a MAN.
Instead this was used to push forth an agenda that lead to many more deaths and destruction.
People will always find a reason to whine.
In my opinion, There is a fundamental problem in the current system that we’ve with the policing system and it has to be improved to build a progressive society.
2020 is a strange year and no body knows what’s coming next. lol
There is a big difference in trying to improve law enforcement (which should be the case everywhere in the world) and labeling a whole group of people as racist and claiming that systemic racism is prevalent in USA.
I agree
Floyd is not a hero, neither is the police. Still against unjustified police brutality.
Ofc. Thats the normal approach. No one likes police brutality.
Thats very different from claiming that a country is systemically racist because a bad cop killed a meth-head and a career criminal.
how come he was always getting sentenced to 10 months :P
police cant just go around and kill people. one could say that he served his sentence.
He served sentences for what they caught him.
He got 5 years for threatening the pregnant woman with a gun.
Ofc police cant go around killing people but this was turned into a race issue when it should have not been.
It's all run by Antifa, George Soros, Media matters etc.
